This task will be performed by reviewing the different activities and their results in this field, from the very beginning. The paper includes the review of the activities of LCA/LCM main research centres in Poznań (Poznań University of Technology (PUT), Poznań University of Economics and Business (PUEB)), Cracow (Polish Academy of Sciences, AGH University of Science and Technology, Cracow University of Economics), Zielona Góra (University of Zielona Góra), Bydgoszcz (UTP University of Science and Technology), Katowice-Gliwice (Silesian University of Technology), Częstochowa (Częstochowa University of Technology) and Szczecin (ZUT Western Pomeranian University of Technology). LCA/LCM researches are also performed in several smaller research groups in R&D centres. In the end of the paper, some conclusions referring to the actual situation of research on LCA/LCM, dealing wi...

The results obtained indicate that they provide a new tool for the remediation of contaminated aquatic ecosystems (surface and groundwater), sediments, soil training grounds as well as waste recycling areas, e.g. for electronic. The application of in situ restorative technologies using compositions involving metal nanoparticles, mainly iron nanoparticles (n-ZVI, nano zero-valent iron) is becoming more common. Solutions proposed in a number of publications and patents show the versality, reater efficiency and lower costs of the remediation process, compared with conventional methods.

Nanomaterials, also referred to as engineered nanoparticles are a product of nanotechnology and, compared to macro-particles, show unique physical, chemical, biological and mechanical properties which significantly extend the range of practical applications. The paper presents the applicability of engineered nanoparticles in the defence industry and concerns related to their release into the environment.

Implementing innovative technologies, especially in the field of renewable energy sources, supports this process and helps to preserve environmentally valuable areas such as semi-natural grasslands. This study employs the ecosystem services valuation method to assess the environmental impacts of implementation of innovative IFBB technology in the Notec River Valley of western Poland as a part of a proposed implementation potential analysis framework. Six different categories of ecosystem services were analysed. Results show that implementing IFBB technology has a positive impact on the local ecosystem, generates additional value for potential investors, and thus could affect the perception of a renewable energy generation technology as being viable to implement.

The use of active packaging, including antimicrobial materials, can significantly extend the shelf life of food. Many of these packaging solutions are based on the application of polymer films containing metal nanoparticles (e.g., Ag, Au, Cu) or metal oxides (e.g., TiO2, ZnO, MgO). However, the use of iron nanoparticles is rarely mentioned. In the study, polylactide (PLA) films containing zero-valent iron (ZVI) were made by casting method. Pure PLA films and PLA films with the addition of Fe2O3 were used as comparative materials. The composition and structure of ZVI/PLA films were evaluated with scanning electron microscopy. The XRD spectra performed on ZVI/PLA films confirmed the presence of iron in the packaging material and revealed their oxide form (Fe2O3). The addition of zero-valent iron in the concentration 1%, 3%, or 5% resulted in the formation of crystallographic planes measuring 40.8, 33.6, and ...

The best option currently seems to be the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy. However, there is no current agreed global vision on how to complete the circle. Therefore, it seems necessary to introduce a standard management system in the field of circular economy. The goal of this paper is to contribute with an overview of existing norms regarding circular economy and to assess the possibility of using them to create the ISO standards.

This fact is strongly connected with increasing role of biomass as a resource of clean energy. Future of pellet market is influenced by different political, economical, environmental and social aspects which create complex relations between suppliers of raw material, pellet producers and consumers. That is why standardization and quality control is being introduced in many countries, that allows to deliver better product which can compete with other fuels in terms of efficiency and impact on environment .

Osobliwe właściwości i zjawiska wykazywane przez te materiały sprawiły, że w ostatnich dwóch dekadach jesteśmy świadkami rewolucji materiałowej. Świadczy o tym zarówno i istotny wzrost intensywności prowadzonych prac badawczych jak i rosnący zakres możliwości praktycznego stosowania osiągnięć nanotechnologii we wszystkich dziedzinach naszego życia.
